Women's
BrooksEssential Run 1/2 Zip

Product Description:

Women's Brooks® Essentual Run 1/2 Zip :: Perfect cover for those "in-between" days between seasons, this high-performance top is also an effective layering style in colder weather, with a longer zipper for great ventilation and easy on/off.

This web exclusive item ships separately via Standard Ground Shipping to physical street addresses within the continental U.S. only. You can count on this item to ship in 3-5 business days!

I have several Brooks half zips including the Podium and Infiniti but this Essential Run half zip is the softest and most comfortable. It keeps the neck warm but is easy to unzip if you get too warm on a run. Very lightweight, not bulky at all, and keeps you warm. Did I mention super soft???

The soft fabric is still warm enough for cooler temps, down to around freezing. Length falls to high hip. The mesh panels at the elbows are brilliant! Pocket is big enough to hold key and a gel. My arms are a little long, but the sleeves could be longer to make the thumb loops easier to pull on. That's a minor complaint on a terrific top.

I just wore this stylish technical top for a 5K race. It was 45 degrees outside and this top kept me very comfortable. In the beginning, the thumbholes allowed my hands to stay warm. Once I warmed up, I unzipped the top and pushed up the sleeves. Nothing rubbed or chafed and the fabric feels really soft. I love the reflectivity for night-time running, too. I'll buy more in other colors.
